Happy Birthday Honey

David and I often talk about how old we are getting, but how we still feel so young...we'll discuss things like how he was talking to a client the other day and thinking "hmm, this guy is way older than me"  only to find out he's a year younger.  Huh. Sigh.

Things I love about my old guy:

The fact that he always takes my side
That he will go run/walk in the neighborhood with me even when he's tired or his knees/back/legs are sore
That he knows just what to say when I'm upset
That he tells me multiple times a day how beautiful and in shape he thinks I am
That when I go out of town he will always work on a project b/c he knows it makes me happy
That he loves desserts as much as I do
That he is such a wonderful mediator
His compassion
The sacrifice and service he renders to our family
His strength and confidence
His loyalty to friends and family
His sense of nostalgia
His sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself
His generous heart
That he spoils me

Ok, I guess this could go on all day.  I can't believe we've known each other over 25 years! 
Happy 43rd to David!!

You just listed the reasons why *we* love our son-in-law, David. :)

Happy Birthday David! BTW, 43 sounds really young to us.

xo, R&S

PS ~ Julie---so funny. I'm sure David wouldn't mind staying at 42.
